There's a great and peaceful river in a land that's fair to seeWhere the Douglas-fir tree whispers to the snow-capped mountain breezeCliffs of solid granite and the valley's always greenThis is just as close to heaven as my traveling feet have beenCHORUS:Roll, Columbia, won't you roll, roll, rollRoll, Columbia, won't you roll, roll, rollStand upon her timbered mountain, look across her silver strandSee the crops and orchards springing to the touch of nature's handAnd it's further up the river where your eye will meet the skiesWhere you'll see the steel and concrete of the big Grand Coulee riseCHORUSThere at Priest and Cascade Rapids men have labored day and nightMatched their strength against the river in its wild and reckless flightBoats and rafts were beat to splinters but it left men dreams to dreamOf that day when they would conquer the wild and wasted streamCHORUSUncle Sam took the challenge in the year of '33For the farmers and the workers and for all humanityNow river, you can ramble where the sun sets in the seaBut while you're rambling, river, you can do some work for meCHORUSNow there's full three million horses charges with Coulee' 'lectric powerDay and night they'll run the factory and they never will get tiredWell, a coal mine gets dug out and an oil well it runs dryBut Uncle Sam will find his power where the river meets the skyCHORUS
